Warm Blue vs Pure White
Warm Blue (Jotun) and Pure White (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Warm Blue reads as blue-grey, while Pure White reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 54-point LRV gap — 84 for Pure White vs 30 for Warm Blue — means Pure White will open up a space more effectively. Where Warm Blue leans neutral, Pure White reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 32.6 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Warm Blue on one side and Pure White on the other.
Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
